- Sheldon Brown is the chief engineer for the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. He explains the most important new features and benefits of the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma.
There are two powertrain options, the standard engine is a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. There is also a 6-speed manual transmission with automatic rev matching and anti-stall technology. Manual transmission models produce 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
There’s also the available I-Force Max Hybrid powertrain with a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder, 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This nearly doubles the torque of the current V6 model. It has a 48 horsepower electric motor integrated into the 8-speed transmission with a 1.87 kWh battery pack.
In Canada, the Tacoma comes exclusively in four-wheel drive models which have an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case with high/low range along with active traction control. In the US, 4x2 is also available. An electronic locking rear differential is standard on TRD-Off Road, TRD Pro and Trailhunter grades. The Limited model features a full time 4-wheel drive system with a centre locking differential on hybrid models.
Improvements were made across all grades enhancing Tacoma’s off-road capability from severe rock climbing to high-speed desert racing. So whether you want a little more luxury in the Limited grade or a very capable Tacoma TRD Off-Road, you’ll find one that fits your lifestyle.
A new front cross member was constructed for the steering gear box, a new high lift jack point is integrated into the rear frame and to enhance ride and handling characteristics is a newly available multi-link suspension, this replaces the previous model’s leaf springs in favour of a set of coils. However, the leaf springs stay on SR, SR5 Xtra Cab grades and TRD Prerunner. The Tacoma also gets new 4-wheel disc brakes, TRD models and above are equipped with a larger front brake package. The hybrid model adds a larger rear brake package.
An electronic parking brake allows for low-speed radar control and a brake hold function. The Tacoma also gets electric power steering.
Available electronic front stabilizer bar that can disconnect for a 10% increase in wheel articulation.
The Tacoma now features suspensions that are specific to each grade. For example, TRD Sport has red TRD sport tuned shocks for a more responsive feel, the TRD off-road grade has monotube Bilstein remote reservoir shocks, the TRD Pro has FOX’s new QS3 three-way adjustable internal bypass shocks with remote reservoirs, the Trailhunter has Old Man EMU 4x4 suspension by ARB that is tuned for optimum levels of off-road control and Limited grades feature a new adaptive variable suspension.
The interior comes with a standard 8” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, it’s got Toyota’s new multi-media system that was introduced in the 2022 Tundra. There’s an available 14” touchscreen, wireless charger, an available multi-terrain monitor, a 360-degree camera, a 12.3” digital driver display, 7” is standard and a 10-speaker JBL sound system is also available, it has an available portable speaker and when it’s undocked it can run for up to 6 hours. Other available features included heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display and a heated steering wheel. All models get push button start and you want a digital key so you can start the vehicle with your phone, it’s through a trial or subscription. That digital key can also be shared with others who are using the vehicle.
Gas models have three times more storage under the rear seat than the previous model and you can also fold the rear seatback flat.
TRD Pro models include Isodynamic performance seats for enhanced off-road driving control and comfort. TRD Pro models sit 2” higher in the front and an 1 ½ higher in the rear compared to the SR5. Gas modesl have three times more storage under the rear seat from the previous model as well and you can also fold the rear seatback flat.
I can't imagine a better person to explain the behind-the-scenes thinking that went into this new Tacoma. Now, if only we could avoid the dreadful task of buying from a car dealership.
Totally agree - also if you’d like, you can call them stealerships 😉.
Agreed, though I am not a fan of any dealerships (aka Stealerships ), I've found the Toyota dealerships to be on the top of the list for their horrible sales tactics. It doesn't take long before feeling like a sheep surrounded by wolves. I will not buy a vehicle from anyone using these tactics.
He made me laugh when he started off saying compact trucks, there’s nothing compacted about these trucks, mid - size is even laughable anymore . They are now as large as full sized trucks used too be and full sized are enormous. The price is outrageous too $ 50,000 and beyond .
Bought my pro Tacoma last year for under msrp. Just have to put a bit of effort into it.
@GS Well, GS, you must be an absolute stud to get a new Tacoma within the past 2 yrs for less than the MSRP. Guess the rest of us are just a bunch of foolish suckers.
What I like about Toyota is they listen to the customers……and adjust to what they want. I believe that is called “common sense” if you want to sell what you produce 🙂
If they listen to their customers then why’s it take 14 yrs to update their trucks and SUVs.
@@ChopperChad They updated it when they had to. The new Colorado and Ranger would have been better than the Tacoma if they didn't come out with this new model. Frankly they are still good enough they will probably take some sales away from Toyota especially if Toyota prices themselves a lot higher. All that said I want the new Tacoma.
except when it comes to diesel engines.
@Free Man I heard the US won't allow diesel Toyotas in America? I know the Hilux has them. My uncle has one in Mexico... be nice to have them here in the states
If they listened they would keep the v6
Just looking at the chief engineer, I feel like I can trust everything he says. He looks like someone who would drive this truck.
Most importantly, he's an American producing vehicles for the American people needs.
@@Flying_Lexus exactly which shows that Toyota is truly dialed in to their customer base and wanting to do and be better
Now we know why they expanded the cabin!
Gotta love those captain chairs and big jug cup holders.
Your witnessing a RARE moment when an engineer comes out of his cave, based on his gut he's been there for a LONG TIME.
Congratulations! I would love to order the Trail Master. Beautiful truck. I really don't feel the same about the new Tundra.
So adding 1.5" to the cabin lenght will not fit the Tacoma in a standard garage?
07 up for sale ! 24 on order !
And it makes sense
... I'm eyeing one of those TRD's 👀
It will be wise to wait at least 3 years after release to buy one of the new 2024 Tacoma, this new technology will go through many defects and issues before Toyota perfect the engine and transmission.
I personally will not get a new Tacoma 2024 just because I already saw the issues with the last generation until 2020 version were they perfected everything from last generation
It may just be my first truck 👌
I wonder if they've improved on the little twist lock mechanisms on the cargo box latches.
One thing Toyota ought to do is offer the Tacoma Access cab, in a V6, with something in the rear compartment other than teeny tiny useless seats. I would have spent extra money on one with flat, nice big storage instead of two stupid little seats. Love the truck, hate those rear seats.
Good looking truck
MPG’s out yet ?😊
Does anyone know what the rear legroom is in the 2024
20+ years tacoma off road community asking for an option front locker ... and they just ignore ...
I really love this guys ability to clearly communicate the vision and execution of their goal. This is the kind of guy people want to work for and with.
Loved meeting him and interviewing him, Sheldon is a wealth of knowledge. Thought we would share our conversation with our viewers.
Obviously Toyota is a customer driven company.
Rust makes me nervous
cutting displacement and replacing with less reliable powertrains says otherwise
Beautiful truck- looks like we might have a preview of what the face of the new 4Runner will look like. Great review!
Maybe, although the 4 Runner is designed and made in Japan....not America.
What do y’all think? Buy a 2023 4Runner or wait?
@@hikerhobby1204 definitely wait
@@hikerhobby1204 I am buying a '23 because I like the reliability of the 4.0L V6 and 5 speed transmission, one of the best combos Toyota has ever made. It's not as powerful or fuel efficient, but I want a truck I can drive for hundreds of thousands of miles with as few issues as possible. I believe decades from now the 5th gen will be seen as a modern classic and a lot of people will wish they had bought one new when they could have.
@@wewd Thank you! I’m a 65 year old Grand Mom. I keep going back and forth. Leaning 2023 for the reasons you stated. I now have a 2015 Lexus NX. Love my little SUV, however, our family is growing and I’d like to climb around northern USA and Canada with a tough ole 4Runner. Have a great day!
Tacoma's designed & engineered in the USA (TN I think ?) It's as American as type 2 diabetes.
Ima use that!
That screen is a bummer for me - waaaayyyy too big to wheel with and my short ass height. Hopefully there will be an option on TRD Pro for smaller display. I am a driver not a screen looker atter.
Get a booster seat
The extended cab is what I would go for like my old 1989 Toyota 4 cylinder extended cab pickup. Not everyone needs or want a four door truck. So I’m sure all Toyota will do is concentrate more on the quad cab and little by little Toyota will do away with the so-called new access cab because they’ll say it’s not selling enough. But maybe it’s because all you will do is try to sell strip version of the access cab that nobody wants because of the lack of bells and whistles. So for now I’ll just keep my old Toyota extended cab pickup truck.
Its definitely nice to have the option. Not everyone buys pickups to be family buggies. Isn't that what the wife's mini van is for? Uh oh, is the trail hunter only going to be available with the crew cab?
Nope, no thanks! I’ll stick to my 2023 V6 Tacoma Trail Edition 4X4!
TOO BAD WE CANT HAVE THE LAND CRUISER 70
Glad to hear about the focus on the frame rust and strength, though kinda skeptical of the thinner frame. Tool boxes in the bed sides would be nice
I applaud him and his team to make the Tacoma the top midsize pickup truck.
Jumping the gun no? Lol truck has not hit the road but you already claim it’s the best.
@@the_OCD_Garage It's been the best mid size truck for almost 30years.... jumping the gun?
@@thedude7315 ok. So do you actually think the Ranger will outlast a non hybrid Tacoma? Be honest. Hybrid is a premium option.
@@the_OCD_Garage Yes, I will make that claim have a Tacoma and it's going strong 💪 08
Yeah . He knows what he’s talking about . He’s truly a good leader .
great job Toyota
They lost me with the 4cyc turbo🤬
Turbo = failure.
Nice to see change based on customer feedback
Toyota is the perfect example of what happens when two or more countries come together in unity. Japan and America both working together to produce awesome, dependable products for their customers. They’ve hired the perfect Chief Engineer for the Toyota Tacoma. We like dependable, capable trucks that are practical and useful. Spaces need to serve a purpose for the things we enjoy doing. Such as over-landing, camping, daily rock, and or mud-trail riding. Southern men use their trucks to navigate muddy trails that could potentially get the wrong setup stuck. We use them for hunting, fishing, camping, we sometimes put campers on the back and put other valuable items and whatnot back there. Other more northern states may use them for more of a rock climbing type of setup. Western United States uses them for Baja, which is awesome as well. And a little bit of everyone, from everywhere uses them for camping and over landing. And for once in my life, I’m genuinely excited about the hybrid engine package, a 2.4 liter turbocharged engine coupled with a 48 hp electric motor, delivering 465 lb-ft of torque and 326 hp; I’m all in. That’s practical, and awesome! I’ll take the Pro, blacked-out from top to bottom on the exterior please 😊
Greeting from Japan!🤝
I’m torn on color but will also be getting the PRO
Sheldon, you and your team did an awesome job
As a Toyota R&D engineer working on developing the next generation Camry, the engineers on this project worked SO hard and knocked it out the park. It's amazing to see the final product!
Cant wait to see the next Camry too, one of a few cars I really trust.
@@rbnhd1144 it’s going to be amazing! I’m so proud to be working on it.
I don't like it at all. I think you guys did a terrible job.
they sure missed the mark not offering the trd offroad on the xtra cab
What can we expect images?
"We've improved the corrosion performance" of the frame. You mean, you actually now have some corrosion performance after decades of having none. If you've also improved the white paint flaking off performance, you'll have a homerun.
Super Bright White my favorite color of Tacoma and I’ve had 3 with the flaking paint.
Kudos Toyota! I love the new Tacoma!!!
But 4 cylinder :( dont like sorry i will stay with the 2023 trd pro much better
I feel bad for the other manufacturers, they don't stand a chance...
Judging from the thumbnail, I’m guessing that dude knows everything there is to know about trucks.
With crazy markups a lot of people are not going to be able to afford this TRD PRO or Trail Hunter
Such a brilliant move by Toyota. So many different trims, with different equipment available. Basic work trucks, luxury mall crawlers, competent off road options, there really is a truck for everyone.
Then the dealerships come along..
Brilliant, really, your an EASY sell.
Sort of. As usual, the small cab trucks are bare bones. I want a Trail Hunter Xtracab A guy can dream can’t he? 😂
@@mtadc1545 the markups are going to be epic! 😅
truck with a 4 cyl or a hybrid?. yea maybe people in la or san fransico hardly a truck anymore
How did the Tacoma turn out so great but the Tundra is a dumpster fire?
I wonder if the new 4runner will have some of the new 2024 Tacoma look, hmmm ...
I own a '22 Tacoma TRD Pro access cab with a 6' bed. Love it! Thinking about ordering a new '24 but I'm not happy that they've apparently done away with the access cab, and the 6' bed if you want the full TRD pro. I love my access cab, I haul gear and groceries and people all the time. I don't want to have to fold my front seats down to access the back, and you obviously can't have any passengers.
We used to own an Access Cab too and really liked the configuration.
Pros come in access cab?
The 2nd Gen Pro had an Access Cab but not the 3rd Gen.
@@Shakerhood69 Got Ya, I love my 20 access cab OR, I probably would’ve gotten the ‘20 pro but no access cab is a no go for me, i camp out of it, the 6ft bed makes it perfect, the double cab long bed looks goofy imo & wouldn’t fit in my garage
There is no such thing as a 22 Pro Tacoma access cab.
So is this a new 8 spd or is it existing from another vehicle. I don't like old an outdated, but I also don't like being a beta tester. I agree the extended cab on a truck is basically a trunk, I did carry people there in a pinch but it wasn't great for that. I had a 2005 Tacoma extended cab prerunner. I'm probably going to get the trail hunter, if I do it will be my third Toyota truck, These new Tacoma's look awesome.
I think he failed with the xtracab prerunner. It should have been an access cab with the storage options as reaching over the seat all the time to reach something in the back is a PITA. Hell there is even a video of the chief engineer having trouble to reach something in the back. Also the rear suspension was a mistake with the leaf springs being under the axel as that limits the lift options and will probably only be used to lower the truck like what other people did with the Nissan hardbody RWD. The prerunner with be terrible for off roading. They can say that they moved to xtracab for crash tests, but I bet it is to save cost and the MSRP will still be more expensive than previous years for the prerunner. Also they should have left the push start as an option. If I ever do get a 4th gen I will probably get a crew cab and delete the back seats to get what I wanted out of the prerunner.
Thanks Sheldon .. But my biggest complaint is something that Toyota/Lexus unfortunately does with all their vehicles.. It looks like they sink the entire cabin way too low in the vehicle.. And they raised the roof and seat?? It looks like they should have raised both more... For the roofline maybe 2 or 3 inches.. This would give it a nice airy cabin with good visibility and plenty of headroom.. Like I said, it looks like sunk the entire cabin way too low in the truck. It looks funny .. I'm pretty sure the low cabin and low roofline probably make for very poor outward visibility, much less cabin room, and much less headroom.. a higher roofline would have made this truck MUCH better.. I know this would hurt MPG a bit.. But I would much rather have good visibility (for safer driving), more comfort, and more room (and headroom)in the cabin
I want a BONE stock Truck, no big screens, no bells and whistles, manual transmission with the manual transfer case, vent windows hand crank windows. preferably v6 or v8 diesel. and lastly, the greatest solid front axle.
I wis they would put 6 foot bed for Trd pro and more room for the back seat. With 5 foot bed on Tacoma. Hood seems to look longer than bed. There is so much room between the front grill and radiator don’t know why. I had so many Toyota Trucks 81,87,95 and first generation Tacoma the 98. Then 2018. On 2018 the transmission was so messed I traded that year later for ford and no complaints about ford.
If anyone looks like a truck guy...it's him. I'd take a Tacoma over the new Tundra any day.
Why?
@@flight2k5 Why what?
@@weirdshibainu why Tacoma over a tundra
@@flight2k5 More trims. Appears to be a more cohesive platform. The interior fits better. The Tacoma cab compete better in its segment than can the Tundra. The Big Three offer better full sized trucks than Toyota did with the Tundra.
@@weirdshibainu naw
Nice looking truck, but not offering a V6 is a mistake, we have had three Highlanders, but are now forced to look at a Pilot for our next purchase because Toyota only putting a 4 banger in an 8 Passenger vehicle...too bad...
bring back the mini trucks like they used to make
*Where is my new 2024 FJ?* 🤷♂
You didnt sell access cabs because you could never find them on the lot. If you did, it was always a stripped down 4cyl 2x2. You purposefully didnt produce them in favor of a higher margin 4 door.
Still love my '08 Taco which I bought in, well, '08. Sounds like Toyota has addressed my 3 main concerns about the truck, but with only 65K miles on Her, I probably won't be upgrading in this lifetime. 👍
This guy did an amazing job explaining the different trims. I wish they did not make an electric tailgating and parking brake.. I also wish that they kept the keyed ignition and didn’t make such a large screen.. Minus those four things I like the truck a lot. I’m glad they kept the manual
I want long bed quad cab with manual transmission
The best car and truck company just keeps getting better.
Thanks for posting this MM!
I’ve seen Sheldon interviewed on multiple channels and always enjoy his explanation of the how and why 4th Gen Tacoma was designed and built.
I want Sheldon to sign the dash in our new Tacoma!
No lie I was expecting to be cheff engineer to be Asian instead white American, regardless nice to hear from firsthand. Great video.
Taco is American made and market so makes sense.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was so great to meet Sheldon, a wealth of knowledge.
The truck market is strong in America it only make sense.
So... I have to fold down the front seat every time I want to access the rear storage?
genius
I've always wanted to buy a Tacoma. I intended on making this latest model my 1st purchase of one finally. The 4 cylinder only option, ruined it for me. Looks like the Frontier is in my near future. Love everything about this new Tacoma, except for the horrible 4 cylinder.
You’ll be sorry.,😂
@Ghengis Khan 5.8 x 42 you could be right. I will wait a year or so before making a decision. It's very difficult to such a large amount of money for a 4 cylinder vehicle, I can definitely say that. The number of cylinders has dropped, yet I bet the price has increased. It's ridiculous today
No V6 ? Why I love the new body but damm hybrid and turbo don't last long
I wish he would have engineered the Tundra. I feel like the Tacoma absolutely nailed every aspect of what a new truck should be. The Tundra still feels lacking.
I wish I could buy a Simple Low Tech Hilux in the USA.
That snowplow on the Limited will get ripped off on the first hump or high driveway.
Buy the truck, bring it home and take that off……..😂
Looks like they’ve learned on the Tacoma. Just go ahead and put the sequoia front end on the tundra and fix that goofy grill bumper area.
I really love the trailhunter. I can’t wait for the 4runner now and i hope it gets just as much love because she is LONG overdue.
Can't wait for Toyota releasing new 4runner.
Hopefully finally rear disc brakes for shorter stopping distances, much better for taller people, and more available than the Ford Maverick. Prices will likely be high, with the reputation for reliability. Many will probably wait for the Toyota Stout that is priced more like the Mavericks, unless they need or want bigger for more towing or more bling.
Judging by the rest of their vehicles it won’t be more available.
Have you ever driven a previous tacoma? Brakes have never been and issue whatsoever. My 2015 tacoma stopped my travel trailer better than the 2017 f150 I replaced it with.
Toyota prices are usually reasonable for what you get. I don’t expect the new Tacoma to be any different. I’d bet there will be small discounts on the 25 Taco.
I think the interior is gorgeous. The exterior is uglier than the previous generation - too many lines and shapes just to have shapes. Maybe by 2035 they'll tone it down a bit. 😂 I still think my 2005 is much cleaner, honest, and better looking.
6ft bed or its a hard pass for me
Better emissions, not necessarily better gas mileage under load, and MOST definitely a MUCH HIGHER repair bill when the dumb hybrid motor fails in under 150k miles. At that point you would be better off just dumping it for a new truck. I for one do not care about all of that fancy balogna. I WANT longevity in my truck. I STILL drive a 2000 Tundra with a NORMAL V8 and very few normal issues that occur at the 100k mark. There is absolutely NO way this new Tacoma can ever last as long as my old Tundra. Not to mention the ridiculous prices now on the new versions. Overall, NOT worth the price tag.
Toyota is moving away from what I want in a truck - simplicity & reliability. I've decided to try and make my 2012 Tacoma (2 wheel drive, hand crank windows, etc.) last as long as it can. Because you can't buy a simple truck from any manufacturer anymore. And when this one finally does wear out, I'll probably have to find an old Studebaker, International Harvester, or REO Speedwagon in a junkyard somewhere to restore. If I want bells & whistles, I'll buy a Tesla. But in my truck, I want the sturdy, simple, reliability of the past.
Cool story
The only reason Toyota fixed all the issues with the Tacoma was probably because they were starting to loose loyal customers to their competitors who didn't have all those shitty issues. They don't care about their customer it was ALWAYS about making the most money. Look how long it took them to refresh the Tacoma and previous generations. When enough customers stop buying their shit they'll start opening up the complaint box and going trough all the great ideas with a fine toothed comb.
Really interested to hear about MPGs, especially since he brought it up as one of the core issues Toyota was addressing. Solid video!
Why did not you equip the partial 4WD trims with a central differential (open or limited slip)? I would love to have an option to use all 4 wheels on both slippery and non-slippery surface and to be able to disconnect the front wheels. THe only trim that has a central differential is Limited, nut it's full-time AWD. I don't think there are technical obstacles to having a central diff on partial 4WD trims - there are probably marketing and segmentation reasons for that. But I am sure there are many people like me who would loe to have a central diff on partial 4WD trims like TrailHunter and TRD Pro. Alternatively, there could be an option to have fulle-time AWD on ThailHunter and TRD Pro.
Can’t wait to see the crazy dealer markups.
This guy better be helping with 4 runner design.
It was such a pleasure speaking to him, such great information.
Why would I still want a manual …according to off road experts if I’m going off road the automatic is better because you are in the perfect gear all the time.
Manual offers more control. We need a manual in our gubment😂
@@jayrichards3672 was is a gubment ?
you enjoy rowing gears and picking your shifts? I don't know about you, but Im doing the driving, not some self proclaimed "expert."
Uhm, if you don’t want a manual then don’t get one - get an auto. People like a manual for reasons other than off-roading.
Manual transmission is the best anti-carjacking device. I live in DC so this a really appealing aspect to the manual option. Last weekend a Prius was jacked one block away from me.
It is stunning in looks and capabilities, but PLEASE make the interior bigger! I know several people besides myself that would buy it, but because of the interior size we have went with the Honda Ridgeline.
Love the truck. Toyota nailed it. But I wish they would listen to customers and get rid of the cartridge oil filters and go back to spin ons. Pet peeve of mine with toyota. But they did a great job with the tacoma
My GTI has the cartridge style, its a bit more hassle but I wouldn't say its a big deal.
@@jeffk464 I've changed oil on many newer Toyota's and the cartridge sucks. Watch Scotty Kilmer rant on youtube about cartridge filters.
Separate element filters are 100x better than old spin on. Location alone makes your preference nil.
I didn't know Americans were the chief engineer for any Toyota product. Is this just for Tacoma? Who was the chief engineer for the most recent Hilux generation? Were they not necessarily Japanese? My 2022 Tacoma SR has a very Japanese engineered engine. The 2TR-FE. No American probably came near to engineering that thing of beauty.
Good job Sheldon....
What a great guy, so much knowledge.
It should come with a small
V8 with that type
Of money the 3.5 was good
Motor but very detuned they should of had a v6 turbo but fed reg will get in the way I will never buy a 4cyl turbo
Too much load on the motor and won’t last as long as
A N/a 3.5
Fantastic presentation! I can see why he's Tacoma's Chief Engineer!!
if the tail gate is lighter why make it automatic?! just seems redundent to me lol
So you don't dent the cheap aluminum panel. Big mistake
Interesting, great direction you and your team took redesigning the different models and options. The '24 Tacoma looks amazing. Incredible power. Definitely appreciate the return of the manual transmission as an option and a locking gas door, with the release inside.
Sheldon was such a pleasure to talk to. We interviewed him and thought we would just share the whole interview on the channel. He's incredibly passionate about the Tacoma. Loved meeting him.
I will be honest and say I wish it was a Japanese engineer. Then I would have kept my confidence in the design and quality.
I would love to know how much the Tacoma chassis differs from say the Tundra or 300-series LC/LX. I know they all use the same basic TNGA-F but that does not mean they are identical (apart from the logical length difference based on application). For example the crossmembers and mounting points have been tweaked on the Tacoma and some sections of those members have slightly thinner gauge steel for cost and weight savings, since the Tacoma is not as large or in need of such heavy-duty capability as the larger vehicles according to autoblog.
Naturally aspirated V6 will ALWAYS last longer and be more reliable, ALWAYS. stuff your turbos. horrible move
Nice job! Kudos.
U better have at least 10 year warranty on that turbo….
Toyota is crazy to fix the rear doors on the SR
There is no denying these trucks look great. The problem is these 4 bangers with batteries. They pussiefied these.... on paper it looks ok. In practice we will see after 3 years
Bigger gas tank on the trailhunter?
So when most of those air dams end up in a land fill is it really that much better for the environment. Stupid emissions standards are so narrowly focused. 🤦🏻♂️
Good job Sheldon, darn fine trucks! (hopefully) If you had anything to do with the "2020 PRO Sport" access-cab, I couldn't like mine more.
What happened to the room in the rear seat of the double cab? No one is talking about it. Is it because they did not put extra leg room? They should have and if they would have , the new Tacoma would be selling like never before.
Very informative video. Lots of technical aspects that are rarely shared. 👏🏽. Love the new taco
Think I’ll go with the new Ford Ranger, my driveway back to the cabin needs oiled and the Ford Ranger will be up to the task.
Very cool hearing the story/perspective from the Cheif Engineer himself.
Very happy with the TRD Pro!
TV on the dash is not only looks stupid, most of the apps wont really work, buttons that are about as hard to operate as it can get, and worst thing of all these things are very blinding at night, its like a flashlight in your face. These days less is more.
This truck is going to cost more than my HOUSE!!! 😂
The engineering team seems to have done an amazing job on the new Tacoma. It'll boost the Tacoma's marketshare
